Hi Chris, Hi all, Q-in-Q / L2Tunnel and 802.1ad with LACP works with Cisco switches without any problem. On ME switch and I tested it with small low-cost 3560G, it works too.
Here's an example: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/metro/me3400e/software/release/12.2_55_se/configuration/guide/swtunnel.html#wp1066465 Is it what you are looking for? Cheers, Jerome Jerome Tissieres ___________________________________ Head of Network Engineering & Operations Ticinocom SA Via Stazione 5 CH-6600 Locarno Phone +41 91 220 00 00 Fax +41 91 220 00 10 www.ticino.com ___________________________________ 2013/6/16 chris burri <[email protected]> > Unfortunately, QinQ (which is called "vman" in the Extreme Networks world) > does not work with LACP.
